Business men and heads Of Govern

to me that they have tried women
clerks. found them unsatisfactory. and
have given up the experiment Their
objections are. that women are inclined
to ask and accept favors. and to excuse
themselves for shortcomings. and that,
they. the employers. find it difficult and

Mr.. G. A. Lippincott informed a MER

tions to establish telephone connections
between Huntsville and Birmingham

The plan to be adopted is this Books

and enjoy five minutes conversation

Ii IN case the party you wish to speak to
at Birmingham is not a subscriber to the
telephone exchange, a messenger is sent
for him free OF charge who conducts him
to the nearest telephone, and thus you
transact your business.
The wires to be used will be copper
